I just bought my GoPro Hero last week.
 
GoPro. They continually take dumps on pretty much every brand of wearable/action camera, yearly.

Is this the first time they've had an external mic jack?
That would be handy in the cage.

Yeah, get the new one for sure.. All the shortcomings are addressed. Like the semi-hard to understand front LCD screen, and the ability to see the red LED light from all angles is a bonus!

No more looking at the mirror to see if your helmet cam is on.

Plus, 120FPS shooting and still shots of up to 10FPS. Pretty cool stuff.
 
I'm assuming you don't get the highest 1080P quality in 120FPS, right? Regardless, I'll be on my way to get one after work.
 
I just ordered one today! I'm glad I didn't do it Saturday like I planned. I would have been pissed :)

It is, I'm pretty stoked about this. No more wind noise. Just use a 3.5 jack and place a mic in your trunk. Great engine sounds, and no wind. :)

No, but I find that shooting at 1080p for say youtube upload is totally overkill, and makes the whole process a drag. I stuck with 720 and have been very happy with the quality. The still photos on my older GoPro is pretty good too..I am having a lot of fun with the fisheye look.

What's the aspect ratio? I've never been a fan of the GoPro fisheye.

Nope. 120 is only available in SD resolutions.
720p gives you 60fps
960 is good to 48fps
1080 is only available at 30fps.

Agreed with Stan23; I do most of my recording at 720 and SD resolutions.
 
i can imagine people's videos will have voice overs like" so i was talking to this- OH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT" *crash*

Also, looking at gizmodo's review, the color and saturation are a lot better than the previous model...
